Elevate beef burgundy by encasing it in a flaky puff pastry crust for a gourmet twist.
Ingredients:
  • 40g (1/4 cup) plain flour
  • 1.25kg beef chuck (casserole) steak, excess fat trimmed, cut into 1cm pieces
  • 250ml (1 cup) red wine
  • 250ml (1 cup) beef stock
  • 200g button mushrooms, quartered
  • 3 carrots, peeled, cut into 2cm pieces
  • 2 celery sticks, ends trimmed, coarsely chopped
  • 1 brown onion, coarsely chopped
  • 40.00 ml chopped fresh continental parsley
  • 1 sheet (25 x 25cm) frozen ready-rolled puff pastry, just thawed
  • 1 egg yolk, lightly whisked
  • Steamed green beans, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl, gently season flour with salt and pepper. Add beef and gently coat evenly. Remove any excess flour mixture by shaking.
  • Heat some of the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook a portion of the beef for 3-4 minutes until browned, then transfer to a heatproof bowl. Repeat with the rest of the oil and beef in two more batches, reheating the pan each time.
  • Turn up the heat to high. Pour in the wine and cook for 2 minutes, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any stuck bits. Add the stock, mushroom, carrot, celery, onion, and garlic. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to medium-low and add the beef back to the pan. Cover and simmer for 1 hour until beef is tender. Then, simmer uncovered for another 30 minutes until the beef is nearly falling apart. Continue to cook for an additional 20-30 minutes until the sauce thickens and the beef is very tender. Stir in the parsley and let it cool for 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C. Place the beef mixture in a 24cm pie dish or a 1.5L ovenproof dish. Cover with pastry, seal the edges, trim any excess, and brush the top with egg yolk. (Refer to notes for freezing instructions).
  • Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is heated through. Enjoy with steamed green beans on the side.
